Other Marches to Support

On May 1, just two days later, immigrants, workers and supporters
across the country, including in Boston, will be marching and striking
for dignity and respect. Instead of hosting a separate march on April
29, we'll be asking the Boston climate movement to show up in force and
take to the streets on May 1. Join us as we mobilize alongside our
brothers and sisters in the immigrants' rights and labor movements. (Facebook page)

Who is organizing this?A
local coalition of labor unions, environmental justice groups, faith
organizations, youth groups, and climate activism groups has been
meeting over the last several months to both a) send hundreds of people
from the Boston area to the People's Climate March in Washington, DC (buy your ticket here and/or donate to help others go! - and Massachusetts Sierra Club has several bus ticket options, too!)
and b) plan a local PCM action here in Boston. We’re joining forces
because we think this could be a transformative moment for the
Massachusetts climate movement. We share a powerful vision: together, we
want to build a forceful, justice-centered movement that lifts up the
voices and leadership of those most affected by climate change. Our work
together is grounded in the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing.

Donald Trump is a threat to the future of our planet, the safety of our communities, and the health of our families.

The new administration has attacked the hard-won protections of our climate, health, and communities, and the rights of people of color, workers, indigenous people, immigrants, women, LGBTQIA, young people, and more.

We've fought back with a wave of protests larger than at almost any other point in history — let's make sure that we mark the 100th day of his presidency with another mass action that stands up for our communities.
